Love the title!

Let’s see if PJ can finish what he has started and roll the Dukies and the Bullpups!

What a great article:
to Division I-AA Georgia Southern, where after getting promoted from defensive line coach to offensive coordinator in 1985, he persuaded coach Erk Russell to run an option offense out of the flexbone, a formation derived from the wishbone. (It is what Johnson uses at Georgia Tech.) “We were run-and-shoot, and he wanted to move to an I formation,” says Johnson. “I told him, ‘We don’t have a tight end, we don’t have a fullback. Let’s try this.’ Fifteen minutes later he came back to me and said, ‘Do what you have to do.’” The first season the Eagles rewrote the school record books and won the I-AA national title; then they repeated in ’86. Johnson has been running the option ever since.

I thought he ran it before GaSouthern

No, that's where it started.

You are probably thinking of his head coaching job at Georgia Southern, his second time there.

I think

that picture was taken below the bleachers in BDS. Looks like the old concrete down there.

This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.
